Index of Subjects Re Burkhard's note below, I'd have thought that the proposal to build this privately funded, tasteless monstrous concrete eyesore in scenic CB would have received more traction here. In the interests of providing a bit of geological info (circulated from the chair of the Earth Sci dept at Dalhousie), please see the following. I already replied using Option 1 below (on-line). I think I still have a copy of the PDF file mentioned but the rules for NatureNS posts restrict me from attaching it. If anyone is interested, I could send it privately. Steve -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: FW: Green Cove - Never Forgotten National Memorial Project Detailed Impact Analysis Date: Tue, 26 May 2015 08:47:17 -0300 From: Rebecca A. Jamieson <beckyj@dal.ca><mailto:beckyj@dal.ca> To: 'Darlene Vanderijt' <dvanderi@dal.ca><mailto:dvanderi@dal.ca> Please distribute to the department, along with the attached Geolog article by Sandra Barr. Note that the deadline for comment is June 5. Sandra Barr also tells me: The DIA by Stantec says that the Black Brook Granitic Suite is very large compared to that one small area at Green Cove and hence the geological effect of the construction is "negligible". But of course very little of that pluton is actually exposed or accessible. It is best seen along the coast and, of the coastal outcrops, Green Cove is best - that is why Martha Hild and I included it as one of the sites in our book on the Geology of Nova Scotia.The DIA also says that the environmental effect of construction will be negligible - I truly doubt that! Look at what is being built, and where it is being built (waves crash over that outcrop). It will certainly not be part of the "natural beauty" for which the Cabot Trail is renowned - it will be an eyesore.

The Never Forgotten National Memorial is a privately funded initiative to commemorate Canada’s war dead who lie buried in foreign countries, lost at sea or otherwise consumed into the landscapes of war. The proposed project for Green Cove, Cape Breton Highlands National Park, is currently undergoing environmental review. The project is being assessed using the Detailed Impact Analysis (DIA) pathway established by Parks Canada to meet its obligations under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012). The draft DIA for this project is available at pc.gc.ca/nfnm<http://pc.gc.ca/nfnm>. Parks Canada is seeking public input on the draft DIA report by June, 5, 2015, in the following ways: 1. On-line: pc.gc.ca/nfnm<http://pc.gc.ca/nfnm> 2. E-mail: pc.infocb.pc@pc.gc.ca 3. Fax: 902 733-2362 4. Mail: Never Forgotten National Memorial Project Parks Canada 259 Park Service Road Louisbourg, NS B1C 2L2 A limited number of hard copies are available at Parks Canada Administration offices in Ingonish, Cheticamp, Baddeck and Louisbourg from 9am-4pm, Monday-Friday. Following this public input period, the Never Forgotten National Memorial Foundation will be obligated to demonstrate to Parks Canada that public concerns and comments received during the consultation exercise have been adequately considered before submitting the DIA report for determination. Thank you.
